WINE DESCRIPTION

Yellow Tail Cabernet-Merlot is a delicious red wine produced by Yellow Tail, a renowned Australian winery. This wine is a blend of two classic grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sourced from select vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The vineyards are known for their warm climate, which allows the grapes to ripen fully and develop rich flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to add complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is medium-bodied, with a smooth and velvety texture, and flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of spice. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a popular choice among wine lovers.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Yellow Tail Cabernet-Merlot blend is a classic expression of Australian winemaking.On the nose, aromas of blackberry, currant, and plum are complemented by soft hints of spice. The palate is generous and round, with ripe fruit flavors and a soft, velvety texture. The finish is smooth and fruit-driven, with a hint of tannin. Enjoy it with grilled meats or rich pastas.
